What we found

Split between genuine appreciation for certain staff and frustration with systemic problems. Multiple residents praise leasing agent Cynthia, property manager Michele Greenwald, and maintenance staff like Roderick and Al for personable service and quick problem-solving. Yet a larger block of residents report the complex as infested with roaches, unresponsive to repair requests that drag on for months, and plagued by management communication failures and office unavailability. New residents give five-star ratings; longer-term residents describe deteriorating conditions and broken promises.

Security deposit refunds stall beyond stated timelines. Pest control is reportedly paid for but never executed. Outdoor areas smell of marijuana. Pet owners note uncleaned dog waste on walkways. The complex charges full replacement fees (one review cited $1,400 for floor damage) even for minor wear. One resident experienced a fatal shooting on the property. While unit renovations are noted as attractive, the gap between the tour experience and day-to-day living emerges as the central complaint.

Praised for
  • staff helpfulness and friendliness
  • recent renovations and unit upgrades
  • resort-style amenities

Watch-outs
  • severe roach infestation

  • poor communication and unresponsive office
  • maintenance issues (no hot water, broken appliances)

  • marijuana odor
friendly-staffpest-issuesslow-repairspoor-communicationwell-maintained
Best for: Recent moveers seeking modern finishes and friendly leasing staff; less suitable for those prioritizing pest control and maintenance reliability.
Think twice if: Pest infestation and unresolved maintenance issues are dealbreakers; office communication and responsiveness have been cited as chronic problems by long-term residents.

Strong individual service from leasing and maintenance staff draws praise, but systemic management failures frustrate residents. Billing errors recur monthly, maintenance work orders languish or close unfixed, pest control goes ignored, and gates malfunction for months. Landscaping and trash pickup regularly miss schedules. Fees stack up beyond advertised rent, and units arrive uncleaned. A few residents report quick service; many others describe chronic neglect that makes the space feel overpriced despite its aesthetic appeal.

Maria and the leasing team stand out for fast, courteous apartment approvals and clear explanations in English or Spanish. However, long-term residents report years of deferred maintenance, pest issues, and lack of contract renewal communication before 2025 renovations-a pattern that left loyal tenants displaced.

Stonegate Apartments

Stonegate has clean amenities on paper but severe, persistent pest and mold problems that management does not address promptly. One reviewer praised fast maintenance response, but most report months-long delays, thin walls that carry neighbor noise, and confrontational staff who dismiss complaints rather than solve them. The 3.5-star average masks a sharp split: 52% five-star praise for affordability and location clashes with 31% one/two-star warnings about habitability.
